Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the BioMed Alliance leadership decided to host the 2020 version of the Spring Meeting online. During the virtual meeting discussed the latest developments at EU level, the activities of the BioMed Alliance and its different taskforces and decided on internal affairs. There were two break-out sessions as well, on the future of medical societies and the future of health research.
